That’s the issue bottom clubs will pay overs to attract players... the system is actually working against bottom teams even more so!

GWS matched so Geelong has to trade for Cameron.

And GWS has sent that pick 54 back to Freemantle for Jesse Hogan. Effectively Langdon out, Hogan in. A far cry from Freo paying pick 6 and 23 for Hogan only two years ago.

Adelaide haven't matched St Kilda's bid according to trade radio with Crows set to receive a second round compensation pick currently 23.

Expect to see some questionable trade in the Crows favour from the Saints.

Dunstan for pick 85.

Why would they not match it if that’s all they’re getting? They probably could’ve got more by trading him. Odd decision.

I think his drug bust completely stuffed his trade value (and his salary expectations). A second rounder is the most they could expect so Pick 23 is probably the best they could hope for in the circumstances.

You aren't going to match a bid if you don't want to keep the player at the club though.  

Clearly pick 23 and Dunstan for  Crouch and say pick 85 is better than trying to do  a trade with the Saints who aren't going to cough up a first rounder for Crouch.

You take that risk and force a trade that benefits your club more. 

What’s the point of the system if no one ever matches?

Not if you really want that player to go for Salary Cap room or perhaps cultural reasons.  

Saints have now officially showing interest in Adam Treloar. 

 

Saints loading up for a flag tilt. Fair play to them for attracting and securing established talent. Would gladly take every player they’ve traded in over the past 12 months. Let’s see if it pays off in the next few years or if they crash and need another rebuild. They’ve definitely gone past us now.

Yep. They've done extremely well.

About to add Jack Higgins also.


The Saints position is a really good example of what you can do if you manage your salary cap well and recruit well. they've got a really clear understanding of how they want to play and they're recruiting accordingly. 

I think they're really only lacking some polish off half back and they should be ready for a serious flag tilt

Brad Hill reported on $900k?

As per AFL website article the Giants are demanding a mid first round pick from the Bombers for Caldwell after being selected at pick 11 and putting two years worth of development into him. Perhaps I have a degree of shadenfreude when it comes to Essendon but this is music to my ears. Their behaviour and demands when it comes to the trade period is bordering on ludicrous and has done for years, its nice to see some pressure applied back to them.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
